Dr. Letitia Davis is a highly experienced and dedicated educator with a passion for transforming learning environments to unabashedly serve her community and its children. From K-6 classroom teacher and Freedom Schools’ site coordinator to trainer of culturally responsive pedagogy/practices, from coast-to-coast instructional coach and principal fellowship selection to university professor in graduate studies educational certification programs, she has been blessed with a myriad of rich experiences. The most humbling, exhaustive, and inspiring role she has held however, is that of school principal. She holds sacred 2014-2021, her principalship years at Baldwin Hills Elementary Pilot in Los Angeles Unified. While in that capacity, she was able to support leading the school in dynamic, culturally responsive and affirming practices, couched within rigorous, accountability structures, which resulted in annual, academic yields for/with traditionally underserved populations, notably beyond 80% of the school community being students of African/African-American descent. The acknowledgment she cherishes and takes great pride in is the school receiving a CDE issued California Distinguished School Award for Closing the Achievement Gap (2020). She was able to guide the school community to one in which she carried such trust and confidence, with her very own children in attendance for their entire elementary journeys. #BlackMamaMagic
